Tips for demos using EcoTasters

See what fellow customers are saying about EcoTasters

EcoTaster is the hip little tasting utensil that in one fun fold becomes a sturdy, pleasing scoop, perfect for a few bites. Made from silky-smooth paperboard – like a soda cup – EcoTasters are our greenest product, in fact, the greenest taster available!*

Mini

The 3.25” EcoTaster Mini is the perfect size to use with sample cups, or to plate small-sized servings. They have an almost full-sized “bowl” making for a more satisfying bite than tiny plastic tasters.

Mid

EcoTaster Mid has the same size “bowl” as most plastic teaspoons. It can be used INSTEAD of sample cups by plating directly on EcoTaster, or used with medium or large sample cups. The “drip-stop” fold is great for soups.

Space Efficiency

Uses 65% to 90% less storage space on trucks, shelves and demo tables

Sustainability

The “Green Dot” EcoTaster

Uses much less material than any other taster

Recyclable and compostable

U.S. made + ultra compact = low carbon footprint in shipping

Renewable, FSC certified paperboard

Cost Savings – EcoTasters:

Offer the best price of any compostable*

Have an almost full-sized “bowl,” so they replace costly full-sized utensils for demos

Are an inexpensive way to let your customers know you care about the environment

What can you eat with an EcoTaster?

Just about anything, and much more than you can eat with a tiny plastic taster, such as chunky deli salad or soup! When folded, these sturdy tasters are strong enough to cut through even cheesecake or fudge.

Tips For Best Use:

We recommend taking a dozen or so EcoTasters and pre-folding all at once,
and then insert into dispenser.
This makes loading fast for servers, easier for self-service.

For sanitary serving, place round-end down in dispenser

* EcoTaster is the most sustainable and least expensive compostable spoon/fork we have seen, although it is impossible to know if there are other new concepts emerging or information not widely distributed.
